What type of antenna is this?

It is listed as a dual-band antenna. The product data also identifies it as an antenna with the model AP-ANT-45, which makes the category and model the primary reference points in the supplied specifications.

What gain value is specified?

The supplied specifications list a gain value of 5 dBi. No additional gain values or frequency-specific gain details are included in the provided data, so 5 dBi is the only grounded figure available for this product.

What connector or interface does it use?

The product data specifies 4x RPSMA as the networking ports and interfaces detail. No other connector types are included in the supplied specifications, so 4x RPSMA is the only interface information that can be stated with confidence.

Yes. The product level is listed as Enterprise in the provided data. That classification, combined with the HPE Aruba branding and the JW018A SKU, supports use in enterprise procurement records.
